>>Can you think of ANY area where a business is set up where harvesting your spare cash is involved, that is not largely BS and illusion?
Where to start. So many. Psychics, new age mysticism, many "alternative" medicines and treatments, comsetics etc.
>>How does one become more discerning with ones spare cash?
You start thinking of reality checks, ways of determining if the price is based on some actual effect or effect only in your brain from marketing programming, like a pair of $800.00 pants or $5000 watch or a $300,000.00 car etc.<<
You are arbitrarily limiting the possibilities of what makes someone value a particular product. It seems you subscribe to the Marxist POV that true value is a matter of labor and materials costs, nothing more nothing less. That is simply not true in a free market.
